Description

High-strength-toughness corrosion-resistant zirconium-cobalt binary alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of zirconium alloy, and particularly relates to a high-strength and high-toughness zirconium-cobalt binary alloy and a preparation method thereof, which can be widely used for experimental research of zirconium-cobalt alloy.
Background
Having higher strength and higher ductility is one of the basic criteria for engineering material selection. In order to provide engineering materials with a high safety factor in the use of various fields, the materials are selected to require a high strength and a high ductility.
Zirconium alloys have numerous advantages, such as: the thermal expansion coefficient and the thermal neutron absorption cross section area are low, and the high-performance high-temperature-resistant material has good machinability, biocompatibility and stable size effect. It also has disadvantages, such as: low strength and easy pitting. According to the existing research, zirconium alloy has been widely applied to many fields of national economy and national defense construction, has application in the biomedical field because of good machinability and biocompatibility, and has small zirconium density, stable size effect and certain application in the aerospace field. Especially has important application in nuclear industry and chemical industry production. However, because of the poor mechanical properties of zirconium alloys, the application range of zirconium alloys is narrow, the application effect is not deep, and the research on high-strength and high-toughness zirconium alloys is still in the development stage at present. However, the high-toughness zirconium alloy has excellent comprehensive performance and great application potential, so how to improve the strength and the corrosion resistance of the zirconium alloy becomes a key link for successfully applying the zirconium alloy in more application ranges.
The nuclear grade zirconium alloy produced in industrial scale includes zirconium tin series and zirconium niobium series. The former alloy is available under the trade names Zr-2 and Zr-4, and the latter is typically represented by Zr-2.5 Nb. In the zirconium-tin alloy, the alloy elements of tin, iron, chromium and nickel can improve the strength, corrosion resistance and heat conductivity of a corrosion-resistant film of the material and reduce the sensitivity of the surface state to corrosion. The nickel in the zirconium-2 alloy has the function of accelerating hydrogen absorption and embrittlement, and in order to overcome the hydrogen embrittlement tendency in the zirconium-2 alloy, a zirconium-4 alloy is developed, which does not contain nickel and has a higher iron content than the zirconium-2 alloy. The zirconium-4 alloy has similar properties to the zirconium-2 alloy except for hydrogen absorption properties. The Nb element has the characteristic of small thermal neutron absorption cross section, not only reduces the absorption amount of the alloy to hydrogen, but also can eliminate the damage of impurity elements such as Ti, C, Al and the like to the corrosion resistance of the zirconium alloy in the smelting and processing processes.
A number of studies have shown that alloys with a simple cubic structure have found widespread use. TiCo and HfCo alloys with simple cubic structures composed of elements of group IVA and VIII can be used as functional or structural materials. In addition, research finds that the alloy has the characteristics of functional materials and engineering structural materials. In recent years, research shows that Co is an alloy element suitable for the low-temperature stability of the B2 phase Zr-based alloy, and in addition, the addition of a small amount of Co also lowers the martensite phase transformation temperature, thereby influencing the shape memory behavior of the B2 phase.
In order to find a research method capable of improving the toughness of the zirconium alloy, the invention researches the research on the mechanical property and the corrosion resistance of the zirconium alloy by adding a small amount of Co element, and provides data and experimental support for the characteristics of a zirconium cobalt functional material and an engineering material.

The hardness, the elastic modulus and the yield strength of the zirconium-cobalt binary alloy show a trend of increasing firstly and then decreasing with the increase of Co content, and reach a peak value at 1.5%; the corrosion resistance increases with increasing Co content.
The preparation method of the high-strength-toughness corrosion-resistant zirconium-cobalt-based alloy comprises the following steps of:
(1) respectively putting industrial grade sponge zirconium and pure cobalt into alcohol for ultrasonic cleaning, and then batching according to the atomic ratio by the proportion;
(2) placing the prepared material in a water-cooled copper crucible of a non-consumable vacuum arc melting furnace, and vacuumizing to 5 multiplied by 10-3Pa;

The preparation method of the high-toughness corrosion-resistant zirconium-cobalt-based alloy further comprises the following step (4): and after obtaining the ingot casting alloy, carrying out homogenization annealing treatment on the ingot casting by using a tube furnace, heating the ingot casting to 950-1050 ℃ according to the annealing treatment at 3-5 DEG/min, preserving the heat for 4-6 hours, stopping preserving the heat, and slowly cooling to room temperature.
